Spotted this Four Barrel love at Maialino, a fancy schmancy pasta place in NYC’s Gramercy/Flatiron neighborhood. Also, Gramercy Tavern, a top rated restaurant around the corner proudly serves Blue Bottle.

It’s not just Mission coffee. Last week I spotted Stumptown being served in Brooklyn also (‘Stumptown’ is Portland if you don’t know — when they first cut down the Oregon forest to make the city they left the stumps, or so they say).

sorry guys, to dampen your local pride (or ignorance?). but nyc caught up with the west coast. i did a extensive/intesive coffee tasting tour there in may and i have to say coffee quality is on par with that of sf.
besides intelligentsia (chi), blue bottle (sf) and stumptown (pdx) there are at least 5 local micro roasteries.
and many highend coffee places are even on par with sf regarding snootiness of the counter staff…
